Title	William Longsdon at Charleston per Robert Fulton via Liverpool to James Longsdon
Date	28 Mar 1820
Description	Recent pleasure of letters of 19 Jan and 15 Feb. Thanks sincerely for kind offers of assistance where James' help can be useful - shall keep in mind and may call on James when time approaches for visiting writer's Manchester friends. Family concerns seem going on tolerably well. If father and mother only enjoy good health shall be satisfied. Bessy says mother wished to have stone put up to John's memory in Longstone Churchyard - quite proper - means to write to her. Not yet given orders about one here. Wishes to know Mr Valk's opinions. Writer uses what fits of John's shirts - sold rest and gun and dog. Does not think his estate was worth anything on 1 September. Losses occurred then to fully £500. Cotton which arrived in London last summer and promised a handsome profit will now pay little or nothing. Mr M contrary.
